Services
Roof Inspection
Our comprehensive roof inspections evaluate existing conditions through field assessments of sampled buildings. We identify current problems, potential failure points, and maintenance needs while providing actionable recommendations for repairs or replacements. Our process includes attic inspections and documentation of cathedral ceilings to ensure complete structural evaluation.
Hail Damage Assessment
Specialized hail/wind damage inspections analyze roof slope exposure across multiple buildings. We determine claim-worthiness by comparing damage patterns against insurance criteria while providing expert guidance during adjuster negotiations for property owners and contractors.
Contractor Comparison
Our contractor proposal reviews analyze submitted bids using standardized comparison spreadsheets. We evaluate insurance coverage, licensing, and project timelines while identifying qualified contractors that meet client specifications through detailed questionnaire analysis and document verification.
Code Compliance Review
We ensure installations meet local building codes through 24,000+ completed compliance inspections. Our expertise in international code standards helps identify installation deficiencies while maintaining strict adherence to ASTM and manufacturer specifications during replacement projects.
RFP Guidelines
Custom RFP development creates standardized bidding requirements that facilitate accurate contractor comparisons. Our guidelines include material specifications, installation requirements, and documentation protocols that become contractual obligations to ensure project transparency and accountability throughout the replacement process.
